Hello,
I would like to suggest a minor fix for an anachronism in tar. The file name
extension '.tlz' is used by Slackware[1] to mean '.tar.lz' and AFAIK nobody
is using it to mean '.tar.lzma'.
[1] See, for example,
http://mirror.slackbuilds.org/slackware/slackware-current/source/a/pkgtools/scripts/explodepkg
Best regards,
Antonio.
